Bloomberg reports Apple is prepping a rapid hardware refresh for 2026, including an entry-level iPhone 17e with MagSafe and an A19 chip, M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro updates, and A18-powered iPad models (plus an M4 iPad Air and OLED iPad mini later), with additional updates to Mac Studio, Mac minis, Studio Display, and a low-cost MacBook in the works.
Bloomberg reports Apple plans to refresh the iPad lineup with a 12th‑gen iPad powered by the A18 chip and an iPad Air 8 with an M4 chip, while the iPad mini is set for an OLED upgrade; the changes focus on new chips rather than design, with Apple Intelligence coming to iPad and a push to market the updated models to enterprise customers.
Speculation suggests that Apple's A18 and A18 Pro chips may have larger die sizes to accommodate additional upgrades such as a bigger cache, larger neural engine, and potentially new hardware features. Technology YouTuber Vadim Yuryev predicts that the A18 Pro could have additional performance and efficiency cores, while the regular A18 might see some cores disabled. However, these are all speculations, and the complete specifications of the A18 and A18 Pro are yet to be revealed.
